Answer the question below based on the following scenario: First grade children at a local elementary school were playing kickball at a supervised recess. When it was her turn to kick, Suzi kicked the ball hard into Bobby’s abdomen. Unbeknownst to anyone, Bobby had a congenital disease which causes brittle bones and malformation of the spleen, which ruptured, in addition to a broken rib. This caused Bobby to have severe pain and massive internal bleeding. Bobby was taken to the school nurse’s office, where the nurse told Bobby to lie down. The nurse attempted to contact Bobby’s parent to take him home, but the parent was away from their desk and worked for a company that did not allow cell phones on site. When Bobby’s babysitter came at the end of school day, Bobby was deathly pale and semi-conscious. The babysitter took Bobby to the local emergency room, and Bobby was given pain killers and a blood transfusion. Unfortunately, the blood transfusion was too late and Bobby died. Bobby’s family is likely to win a torts case against (select all that apply): Suzi for kicking the ball and injuring Bobby The school for not taking care to prevent injury on their playground The school nurse for not sending Bobby to the hospital immediately The parent’s workplace for not allowing cell phones when away from your desk No one, because Bobby’s congenital disease meant that he was going to be injured and die soon no matter what No one, because the life of a child is not compensable
